Hundreds of Iowa children are losing their Head Start child care this week, and thousands more families are seeing their SNAP benefits delayed or cut off because of the federal government shutdown. Parents are losing jobs, childcare providers are being laid off, and families aren't able to put food on the table. Tell Iowa’s Republican Congressional delegation to reopen the government and restore critical funding now.

I am calling on you to take immediate action to end the government shutdown and restore funding for programs Iowa families depend on, including Head Start and SNAP.
Because of this shutdown, hundreds of Iowa children are losing access to their early learning and child care programs. At the same time, many of those same families are seeing interruptions in their SNAP benefits, making it even harder to put food on the table. Parents are being forced to choose between caring for their kids and keeping their jobs, while childcare providers and staff are losing their paychecks.
Head Start and SNAP are lifelines for working families. They provide stability, nutrition, and opportunity for children who need it most. Every day the government remains shut down, more Iowa families are pushed into crisis.
You have the power to fix this. Put Iowa’s children and families first by ending the shutdown and getting Head Start classrooms open and SNAP benefits restored immediately.
